UPCOMING EVENTS

Let's Read Together

The Bear by Andrew Krivak is a novel about a father and daughter living in harmony with nature in a world where humanity has vanished. The father teaches his daughter survival skills, but after his death, she embarks on a journey to honor his wishes. Along the way, a bear guides and protects her, sharing lessons about strength, resilience, and the interconnectedness of life.​

The book is both a survival story and a meditation on the beauty of the natural world. It encourages readers to reflect on humanity's impact on the planet and the importance of living in harmony with nature. Its poetic language and thoughtful themes make it a powerful, reflective read for our community

A DONATION OF $19.74 EMPOWERS CREATIVITY

This year, the Dahl Arts Center is celebrating 50 years of art and community by aiming toward a goal of $19,740 to support free gallery exhibitions, arts programming, and community events in 2025.
​
Why that specific amount, you ask? It’s a nod to the year the Dahl first opened its doors--1974, marking 50 years of art and community!

​Make a difference in our community  by raising funds to ensure another year of incredible arts programming.
